Show HN: Spotify Live Banner – Real-Time 'Now Playing' Widget for GitHub READMEs

2 hours ago 1

Hello HN,

I built and open-sourced Spotify-Live-Banner, a project designed to embed a dynamic, real-time image of the user's currently playing Spotify song into their online profiles (primarily GitHub READMEs).

*Technical Details:* * Built as a minimalist web service using *Python (Flask)*. * Authenticates via Spotify API to pull live track data. * Dynamically renders a customizable SVG image based on that data. * Configured for easy, free deployment on Vercel.

It's intended as a polished, customizable utility for developers looking to add dynamic content to their profiles.

I'd appreciate any technical feedback on the Flask implementation or the SVG rendering approach.
